Confessions of a bad mommy

So I am posting this as a confession and as a reminder to myself- so I can look back on it and remember that I need to be more careful. I often joke about Andrew, saying he is like a cat and has 9 lives. He has used up quite a few and recently used up 2 more:) Adam is always reminding me to put away the kids medicine. I am not that paranoid about it cause they have the kid proof lids. Right? Well I had children's Motrin on the kitchen counter the other day. Andrew was in the kitchen and I hear him say, "I sorry Mommy." I go in to find him with the OPEN bottle of Motrin in his hand and he says, "I sorry for drinking the medicine Mommy." I smell his breath and sure enough he has had some. I look at the bottle and luckily it is still almost full so I know the most he could have had is about 2 tsp- not enough to worry about. Thank you God. He got the child proof lid undone! Adults have trouble with that stuff. A couple of weeks earlier I found him in the bathroom, up on the counter, in the medicine cabinet. Ahhh! A few days after the first Motrin incident I was giving some Motrin to Jacob. I was carrying Jacob- not an easy task:) I had opened the bottle and left the open bottle on the counter. I told myself this was ok because I was just going to give Jacob his medicine and then go right back and put it away. Well, of course I forgot. About 15 minutes later we were all on the couch and I hear a noise in the bathroom. It dawns on me and I go running in to see Andrew dumping the full bottle of Motrin all over the bathroom counter. Well what a mess and a waste of money but I was so glad because I would much rather have it on the counter than in his stomach. I followed this last incident with a very clear statement to Adam that he was very right and I was very wrong:) I think I have learned my lesson. On a side note, I think Andrew also drank a little laundry detergent awhile ago as well. So in the last 4 months or so he has had 2 different kinds of medicine and laundry detergent...great. I should probably memorize the poison control phone number.
